EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored steel engraving depicts the Sentry Plant, scientifically known as Agave americana, also referred to as the Century Plant, Maguey, or American Aloe. The image is a meticulous reproduction of a botanical illustration by Edouard Maubert, skillfully engraved by Pierre. It was originally published as part of the comprehensive work "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. The Sentry Plant is a remarkable succulent native to Mexico and the southwestern United States. It is easily recognizable by its tall, sword-like leaves that form a rosette at the base, with each leaf reaching up to 2 meters in length. The plant can grow up to 6 meters tall and blooms only once in its lifetime, producing a large spike of yellow, tubular flowers. This exquisite botanical illustration showcases the intricate details of the Sentry Plant's structure, from its textured leaves to the delicate veins and the central spike. The hand-coloring adds a vibrant touch, making the plant's natural beauty truly come alive. The engraving is a testament to the meticulous work of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century, who dedicated themselves to documenting the natural world in all its splendor.
